Metro Times columnist Jack Lessenberry wonders where the GOP is in the battle to win the U.S. Senate race in Michigan.
Lessenberry writes:
You may not have realized this, but there is actually an election for the U.S. Senate in Michigan this year.
Well, sort of an election. But really not much of one. The GOP candidate either seems to be sleepwalking, or to have decided that he really doesn't want to be a senator after all.
This is the race between U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat trying to win a third six-year term, and Republican Pete Hoekstra, a former congressman from the west side of the state who used to chair the House Intelligence Committee.
If you've forgotten this was going on, that's understandable. Hoekstra was last seen campaigning in Israel.
